Default Forsythia - Can it be cut way back to produce a smaller plant

Thanks for the help. Messages forwarded.

My friend has a plant that is growing up to 10 feet high. She is
wondering if she could cut it back to maybe a foot high this next
winter, and expect it to survive and hopefully thrive and flower as
a somewhat smaller plant. Does anyone know if forsythia can handle
this kind of abuse?
